Sometimes we notice that either hosting or Web Application Firewalls block our servers due to repeated requests to the website.
Even though we spread out the requests among our servers the blocking of IPs can still occur. In this article we will cover how you can whitelist our IPs using DirectAdmin.
Currently the used IPs include:
- 188.166.38.64
- 146.190.21.194
- 178.62.210.68
- 165.232.87.39
- 144.76.156.30
- 45.61.161.114
Before getting started
Before we begin, it's important to note that you need to have access to your DirectAdmin account and have administrative privileges in order to follow these steps.
Step 1: Log in to your DirectAdmin account
The first step is to log in to your DirectAdmin account. To do this, open a web browser and go to the DirectAdmin login page. Enter your username and password, and then click the "Log In" button to access your DirectAdmin account.
Step 2: Access the IP address whitelist
Once you're logged in to your DirectAdmin account, you need to access the IP address whitelist. To do this, click on the "Security Center" option in the left-hand menu, and then click on the "IP Address Whitelist" option. This will open the IP address whitelist page.
Step 3: Add the IP addresses you want to whitelist
On the IP address whitelist page, you will see a list of IP addresses that are currently whitelisted. To add the IP addresses you want to whitelist, click on the "Add IP Address" button at the top of the page.
In the "Add IP Address" form that appears, enter the IP addresses you want to whitelist, one per line. You can also enter a comment to help you remember why you added a specific IP address to the whitelist.
Step 4: Save your changes
Once you have added the IP addresses you want to whitelist, click the "Save" button to save your changes. The IP addresses you added will now be whitelisted, and they will be able to access your website or server.
In conclusion, whitelisting IP addresses using DirectAdmin is a simple process that can help improve the security of your website or server. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily add IP addresses to your whitelist and ensure that only those IP addresses can access your website or server.
